Frustratingly close to being really great 0
Baten Kaitos is one of those games where the flaws are amplified by greatness in other areas, making them seem glaring and unacceptable by contrast. It's become a signature feature of Monlith Software's RPG output that their games can reach heights genre contemporaries like Tales Of or Dragon Quest could never hope to achieve, but never consistently. For all that this game achieves in combat mechanics, beautiful places to explore, and music it is equally deficient in storytelling, level design, ...

This is a very intuitive thing in the game ...

Baten Kaitos was much better than expected. 0
I had very low expectations going in with Baten Kaitos, but I ended up enjoying it more than I had wanted to. There was a ton of flaws with it, including the story, characters, and voices but I stuck it out and finished the game without feeling bored. I did cringe with most of the dialog though. The battles dragged on a little long, even the sub-enemies, so I dreaded going into a fight. The way you level up is really stupid, and the lack of CGI Cutscenes was extremely disappointing. The positive...
